Users may follow along as the Tuskegee University graduate provides details about her experience including her favorite spot on campus, her experience as an HBCU fellow, her transition to Columbia University and graduate studies, and her post-graduation plans. Users are also encouraged to submit questions in advance via Columbia SPS’ Instagram stories.
The second takeover will take place at 9 a.m. EST on the following Friday, February 18th with Strategic Communication student, Howard University alumnus, and international student from Jamaica Marlon Brooks. On Friday, March 4th, Sports Management student and Lincoln University alumna Niare Galvez will take over Columbia SPS' Instagram to show a day in her life at Columbia and to share tips for applying to the program and adjusting to grad school.
